How to choose
Prioritize agents with explicit daily free generations or permanent free tiers to avoid surprise paywalls. Check if the tool supports code-based editing or text-to-video as needed for your workflow. Watch for time-limited offers like one-week free access that may end abruptly. Avoid near-miss tools focused only on music, transcription, or paid-only editing.
